Abstract
A cyclodextrin-olivetol derivative complex is provided. The complex effectively blocks reaction at specific carbons to prevent unwanted reactions. A process for preparing a cannabinoid compound is further provided. The process comprises reacting at least one terpenoid with cyclodextrin-olivetol derivative complex to produce the cannabinoid compound.
Description
- The present invention relates to the regio-selective synthesis of Δ9-hydrodannabinol (THC) and THC derivatives, and more particularly to the condensation reaction of a terpinoid with olivetol and olivetol derivatives using cyclodextrins as space blockers for the regio-selective synthesis of THC.
- Naturally occurring cannabinoids are the biologically active components of cannabis. Pharmaceutical interest in cannabinoids has increased due to FDA approval of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) for several therapeutic applications
- In the 1940's A. R. Todd and R. Adams attempted to prepare several synthetic analogs that were shown to have similar activity of marijuana even before the structure of THC was firmly established. Many efforts have been made to develop an efficient strategy to prepare the THC. Among the several approaches to synthesize THC and its derivatives, the condensation of olivetol with several terpene based compounds, such as (−)-verbenol, (+)-chrysanthanol, (+)-p-mentha-2,8-diene-2-ol, (+)-trans-2-carene epoxide, (+)-3-carene oxide and (+)-p-mentha-2-ene-1,8-diol are more efficient than other approaches, such as Diels-Alder reaction of cinnamic acid derivatives, reaction of citral and lithium derivatives of the olivetol and olivetol dimethyl ether and synthetic route to the THC based on the Pechmann condensation reaction. All known synthesis paths share a common drawback—the final product is a resinous, hard to purify, complex mixture containing up to eight major isomers. As a result, multiple purification steps are often required to purify the THC from the reaction mixture when those synthetic approaches are adopted. Production of THC and THC derivatives is therefor costly to scale up for commercial purposes.
- An aspect of the present invention is to provide a composition comprising olivetol or an olivetol derivative complexed with at least one cyclodextrin to block unwanted reactions.
- Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a process for preparing a cannabinoid compound comprising complexing olivetol or an olivetol derivative with at least one cyclodextrin; and reacting at least one terpenoid with the complexed olivetol to produce the cannabinoid compound.
- These are merely illustrative aspects of the present invention and should not be deemed an all-inclusive listing of the innumerable aspects associated with the present invention. These and other aspects will become apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the following disclosure.
- A cyclodextrin-olivetol derivative complex is disclosed herein. Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides having at least six glucopyranose units. Commercially available cyclodextrins typically have 6, 7 and 8 glucopyranose units. Cyclodextrins are shaped as a torus, with a hydrophilic outer surface and a hydrophobic inner surface. Cyclodextrins are capable of forming inclusion complexes with hydrophobic guest molecules of suitable diameters. These cyclodextrin complexes encapsulate guest molecules.
- In the present invention, the cyclodextrin provides its cavity as a non-polar sterically hindered reaction field, in which the olivetol derivative is complexed. In the description below, the term “olivetol derivative: is deemed to include olivetol. The cyclodextrin-olivetol derivative complex is illustrated below.
- wherein R1 and R2 are H or an alkyl group; and wherein R3 is an akyl having 1 to about 10 carbons, branched or unbranched or an aryl (non-polar). When R1 and R2 are H and R3 is a pentyl group, the compound is olivetol.
- In the resulting complex, the C3 and C5 positions of the olivetol derivative are blocked, thereby preventing unwanted reactions at these carbons. The C1 carbon is left unprotected and is available for reaction.
- Conventional synthesis of cannabinoids from olivetol derivatives requires a condensation reaction of a substrate with the olivetol derivative at C1. Reactions at C3 and C5 result in unwanted by-products that decrease yield and are difficult to remove.
- As a result of the complexation of an olivetol derivative with cyclodextrin, the side reaction pathways related to reactions at the C3 and C5 positions have been successfully blocked.
- The composition of the cyclodextrin and olivetol derivative non-covalent complex is prepared as an intermediate, which may or may not need to be isolated for further reaction to prepare THC.
- The reaction may be carried out in a one or two-step process. For the two-step reaction process, the cyclodextrin-olivetol derivative complex is isolated, and then converted to the desired product at a later time.
- The selection of a suitable cyclodextrin depends primarily on the sizing of the non-polar cavity. Cyclodextrins suitable for complexation with olivetol derivatives include but are not limited to natural α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, γ-cyclodextrin or modified synthetic cyclodextrin, such as (2-hydroxy-propyl)-β-cyclodextrin, (2-carboxyethyl)-α,β,γ-cyclodextrin, (2,6-Di-O)-ethyl-β-cyclodextrin and (2-hydroxy-ethyl)-β-cyclodextrin.
- The cyclodextrin-olivetol derivative complex is formed by mixing the cyclodextrin and olivetol derivative in a suitable solvent. Suitable solvents include but are not limited to tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl-formaldehyde, hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers such as diethyl ether, ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and isopropyl alcohol and mixtures thereof. Preferred solvents include halogenated hydrocarbons, tetrahydrofuran and dimethyl formaldehyde. The reaction is preferably at room temperature for about 30 minutes, although time and temperature are not critical. The solvent is then evaporated at reduced pressure, leaving a solid cyclodextrin-olivetol derivative complex.

- To prepare THC cannabinoids, the substrates used in this reaction include (−)-verbenol, (+)-chrysanthanol, (+)-p-mentha-2,8-diene-2-ol, (+)-trans-2-carene epoxide, (+)-3-carene oxide and (+)-p-mentha-2-ene-1,8-diol. These substrates are illustrative and are not meant to be limiting of the present invention.
- The preparation of a THC derivative from an olivetol derivative is well known in the art. The process includes dissolving the cyclodextrin-olivetol derivative complex in a solvent system as defined above. While maintaining a reduced temperature, the substrate and an acid catalyst, including but not limited to Lewis acids, are added to the cyclodextrin-olivetol derivative complex. The temperature is typically maintained at about 0° C. to about 15° C., with about 5° C. being preferred. The reaction process may be monitored with HPLC, and upon completion of the reaction the reaction may be quenched with a base. The resulting mixture is purified by conventional methods known in the art.
- In addition, the above reaction may be altered to result in the formation of a cannabidiol, typically by using a weaker acid catalyst or by reducing the temperature of the reaction, as is well known in the art. The cannabidiol can then be converted to a cannabinoid compound or utilized as an intermediate for a different reaction.
- Futhermore, the presence of ABN-cannabidiol has been detected in the reaction mixture, the ABN-cannabidiol being the result of either reaction of the (+)-2,8-menthadiene-1-ol at the C3 or C5 position due to incomplete complexation of the cyclodextrin/olivetol, or the result of rearrangement of the normal cannabidiol. In either case, it has been determined the ABN-cannabidiol, in the presence of at least one cylcodextrin and at least one Lewis acid, rearranges to normal cannabidiol.
- The following examples are offered to illustrate aspects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit or define the present invention in any manner
